Race to the Bottom Update

That is totally a thought bubble.  Shut up, you try to draw with a trackpad.

The Twins lost, but so did nearly every other team ahead of them in the standings.  Well, except the Orioles, whose game was postponed thanks to some nasty sh!t going down on the East Coast.  They were going to play the Yankees though, and A.J. Burnett wasn't pitching, so it's probably safe to assume they would have lost.  At this point, it might be unrealistic to expect the Twins to leapfrog the Astros in the race to the bottom, but the second overall pick in the 2012 draft is still within reach.  The hometown nine are trailing the Royals and the Orioles by a mere game and a half, so let's hope they don't screw up and start winning.
